Preview of Nonfiction Book

"Live Pterosaurs in America" includes details on
the South Carolina sighting by Susan Wooten

By the author, Jonathan Whitcomb
(To be published about early June, 2009)
 
[excerpt from the first paragraph of chapter 1]
 
"Susan Wooten was driving east on Highway 20, to the town of Florence, on a clear mid-afternoon in the fall of about 1989 . . . Where the road is surrounded by woods and swamps, Susan saw something flying from her left, then passing in front of her . . . 'It swooped down over
the highway and back up gracefully over the pines,' but
its appearance was shocking: ' . . . as big as any car . . . NO feathers . . . like a humongous bat.'"
 
I noticed several things that gave credibility to this
eyewitness testimony. It is inconsistent with both a
hoax and with a hallucination or mental condition.
 
I interviewed Susan over a period of months, but the book includes many other sightings in the United States.
